Brian Ekberg Reveals the 710hp McLaren 720S Is Heading to Forza 7 in July

The June update has only been live for a few hours, but we’re already hearing about what’s coming Forza Motorsport 7 next month. While it’s brief, it does pack a punch, with the McLaren 720S coming to the game.

The announcement comes from Brian Ekberg, the community manager for Forza. During the a new Monday monthly stream, Ekberg spilled the beans and said the 720S is indeed heading for the game next month.

The 720S is a pretty serious car too. With its 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 it packs 710hp and 568lbft of torque. This puts the sprint to 60 at just 2.7 seconds and the top speed around 212mph.

It’s not all about straight line performance either. The 720S eats up the corners. In January of this year, EVO Magazine took that McLaren to Anglesey Circuit in Wales. There it lapped the track in a blistering 1:11.5. This was fast enough to beat out its 903hp brother, the McLaren P1, which only did it in 1:12.8. Tardy.

If it is a free car, we expect it to drop around July 3. This will give players stateside a chance to experience it over the Fourth of July holiday. Otherwise, expect it in a DLC pack sometime around the middle of the month.

Stay tuned to GTPlanet for any additional information, including upcoming DLC for Forza Motorsport 7.
